Texture on canvas

This time I used 5x5 canvases. I used pink, teal and navy blue and green colors and blended them together on textured background.

Small canvas art

The other day we went to michaels and bought awesome deep canvas packs. One of them was 4"x4" and there is 9 of them in one pack. They were all on 60% deal so they came to something over 7$ for all of them. I wasnt quite sure what to do with them at the time, but then I got home and found a wood filling paste....There is a lot you can do with the that. I used stencils I made with cricut and a little bit of paint and this is what came out...

Elmo Birthday Banner

Last year I made a birthday banner for our son's party and I really liked how it came out. This year I really didn't want to do anything like that but then my hubby got me the cricut and I also looked the ones they sell and decided that I have plenty of paper and Sesame street cartridges so I just have to make the decoration again.

I love how they came out. I used 8x8 colored textured cardstock with 5x5 square on the top. Letters are also textured with polka dot embossing folder. To make it toke about 2 hours. 

Extra large art for your livingroom

It had been quite a while since we moved and pretty much since the day we moved in I wanted our living room to had some dark blue accents but at the time it was almost impossible to do because of our baby boy just starting to walk and holding onto anything he could have. For those reasons curtains and large art pieces were out of the list for a long time. This year our son turned 2 and before his party I decided I really have to do the livingroom by then.

Our wall in the living room is 20 feet long with 9' ceillings so it was going to cost fortune to cover it with frames and for those reasons we decided we are going to make our own stuff...Well I did. My hubby somehow ended up making a canvases for all 3 of them. After our "wood" research we decided that we are going to make each 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide. Got the wood cut in home depot and also went for 2,5 inch wood that was used to frame it on sites. The pricing all together for each picture came to about 80$ but there was a tons of left over paints and wood so I ended up making a smaller pictures with flowers too.

Another awesome t-shirt

Driving in the car with my hubby, we started talking about what else we could put on the t-shirt. While back he got me a screen printing machine but I ve never used it. I think I just find the whole process more difficult then it could be so I 've never even tried it. I've put it up for sale and when I finally got someone interested, my hubby told me that he wants to keep it. That was almost a year ago. However our conversation in the car made me think he may will even use it.. one day...For now I"ve taken over his awesome idea and this is my end result.

Elmo's world...

Today I finally finished some of the pictures for my son's wall. Few months ago when I got the explore machine for Christmas I started cutting out shapes of sesame street characters thinking that I will use them sometimes for sure and this way I will also learn how to use the machine properly. It toke me a while I have to say. It also toke a lot of unhappy faces and a tons of patience since I just couldn't figure out why is the blade not going through the paper all the way. Well I've learned one thing for sure, I will never use the cricut mats as a mat for glue gun again... Even if I scraped the glue off  (and I thought I did a good job) machine still thought there is something wrong with mat and just was not going through as it was meant to and I just didnt thought that that was the reason for bad cuts. Well we all learn somehow:-)
Anyways, I love my machine now and yesterday I realized we got few picture frames in the garage and this is what came out. My son seem to love them and few times since hanging them up he pointed at them with a wow expression on his face. Exactly what I was hopping for:-)
